The challenge: After a promising start, this fitness operation suddenly finds itself limping through a disastrous second year. The store’s management team turns to Elevation 7 to find a cost-effective way to spark its business.

The solution: Elevation 7 utilizes a thorough market survey to diagnose the company’s disconnect between its audience, then develops a targeted e-mail campaign that generates buzz, store traffic and sales.

The challenge: Create an easy-to-manage website that can expand its content and scope as this start-up company expands its reach.

The solution: Matt develops a clean, sleek design for the site’s front end, and an administrator side that gives the company plenty of room to grow.

The challenge: Develop a cost-effective promotion to generate revenue and build store traffic for a women’s apparel retailer struggling to keep pace in a tepid local economy.

The solution: Matt devises a clearance sale concept that fits perfectly within the brand’s kitschy image. The inexpensive promotion generates a 40% revenue spike, and the positive buzz created by the event spurs store traffic steadily for the next month.

The challenge: Create brand identity, website and SEO/traffic campaign for irreverent sports news/opinion blog.

The solution: Don’t let the campy design fool you — a focused and aggressive traffic campaign was devised for this start-up site. And it’s worked. Unique visitors averaged over 1,000 per day within three months of the site’s official launch.
